I found pretty much what you did. A narrow taper collet is an improvement from course taper. The finger plates for me did not improve things much more. Finger plate good for expensive rims where you don't want to touch the face of the rim.
I just got a speed plate set and low taper collets and I get the best, most accurate and repeatable results from using them both. I also have traditional cones and a lug centric adapter but nothing compares to using the collet and speed plate together.
@@geardriven1016 I've been looking at Haweka too but couldn't find individual 5 finger plates for a 28mm balancer. Did you get one plate or a whole set?
For most balancers that is true, but for Snap on balancers they are a different situation unless you remount the tire exactly in the same position, otherwise its going to show a reading. I confirmed this with a Snap on technician that I had see the machine and verified wheels were completely balanced on Hunter and Corghi balancers.

agreed 100%
What brand is the pin plate?
The finger plate system I have is from Haweka. I have been having great success with them.

If ou dynamically balance a rim and take it off the balancer and put it back on should it read 0
